Did I get HIV from my friend?

Rough sex and chance of hiv?

I had sex with a good friend of mine twice, both times I had a lot of vaginal bleeding/broken vaginal tissue because we had really rough sex. I have sinced stopped because I started worrying about hiv. He is married for 5 years now and I know his wife and son is hiv negative. What are my chances of getting hiv from this guy assuming he is only sleeping with me and his wife? I can't get tested until after the window period but I'm really worried right now. I learned my lession and will never get involved with a married man again. Thanks.

Risky sexual behavior includes unprotected sex with additional vaginal bleeding. You can never be sure if your sexual partner has slept only with his wife and you. Both you and he should be tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Tests for HIV should be repeated after 3 months when the incubation “window” period is over.
